LONDON (The Borowitz Report)—The
theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking angered supporters of Donald J.
Trump on Monday by responding to a question about the billionaire with a
baffling array of long words. Speaking
to a television interviewer in London, Hawking called Trump “a
demagogue who seems to appeal to the lowest common denominator,” a
statement that many Trump supporters believed was intentionally designed
to confuse them.
Moments after
Hawking made the remark, Google reported a sharp increase in searches
for the terms “demagogue,” “denominator,” and “Stephen Hawking.”
“For
a so-called genius, this was an epic fail,” Trump’s campaign manager,
Corey Lewandowski, said. “If Professor Hawking wants to do some damage,
maybe he should try talking in English next time.”
Later
in the day, Hawking attempted to clarify his remark about the
presumptive Republican Presidential nominee, telling a reporter, “Trump
bad man. Real bad man.”
